'Cause everyone wants to remember how their team got spanked.
Yeah, when you're a fan of the other team, not so fun. I attended a near-perfect game that was broken up by a hit with two outs in the ninth inning. The crowd reacted like they'd won the game - nobody there was hoping to be able to tell anyone they'd attended a perfect game (especially given that it was the Yankees' Mike Mussina, against the Red Sox at Fenway.)
Did I mention I was at that game . . .
Did you have the nachos grande? I'll pay you for the underwear that you wore to the game that day.
Sorry, I returned them and got my money back.
Damnit kneetoe!
If I tear the ticket myself, buy a return ticket from Florida, and back date my Google calendar, I can finally have a story to tell my grandkids.
Dude, nobody tears tickets any more. It's all about scanned barcodes.
Does this mean I can finally go to Woodstock?
I'm fucking pissed that I spent so much time focusing on the Flyers losing that I missed the perfect game. Still, it couldn't have happened to a more deserving team than the fucking Marlins.
